The list of requirements is significantly shorter than in previous versions of Windows. The use of Windows Installer (MSI) or ClickOnce is no longer listed as an explicit requirement.</p> <p>Software developers can now self-test their application for compatibility, external test centers are no longer involved in the process. Instead they have to give a copy (and license) of their application to Microsoft for testing purposes.</p> <p>Microsoft will hold the ISVs responsible for their products: ISVs must to agree to a 30-90 day resolution policy for all issues identified in market with logo’d products.</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dd203105.aspx" target="_blank">Windows 7 Logo Program</a></li> <li><a href="http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Windows7AppQuality/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=1734" target="_blank">Windows 7 Application Quality Cookbook</a></li> </ul><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1668926" width="1" height="1">Web ResourcesWindows InstallerLogo CertificationWindows 7http://msmvps.com/blogs/installsite/archive/2007/04/14/797662.aspxFri, 13 Apr 2007 23:13:00 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:797662stefan0http://msmvps.com/blogs/installsite/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=797662http://msmvps.com/blogs/installsite/archive/2007/04/14/797662.aspx#comments<P>There is an article at the Code Project that explains some of the Vista logo requirements and test cases and offers tools and tips to pass them. Among others it shows how to modify a MSI setup created with Visual Studio Setup &amp; Deployment project to make it Vista logo compliant. The article also has links to essential logo guideline documentation. Even if you don't plan to submit your application for Vista logo certification it's a good idea to know and follow these guidelines.</P> <P><A class="" href="http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/Certified_for_Vista.asp"><STRONG>Certified For Vista: How to ensure an application gets certified.</STRONG></A></P><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=797662" width="1" height="1">Web ResourcesWindows InstallerVistaLogo Certificationhttp://msmvps.com/blogs/installsite/archive/2006/12/21/439460.aspxThu, 21 Dec 2006 10:29:00 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:439460stefan3http://msmvps.com/blogs/installsite/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=439460http://msmvps.com/blogs/installsite/archive/2006/12/21/439460.aspx#comments<P>I found an interesting blog article from a software developer who prepared his application and setup for Windows Vista Logo certification.
